Whiskey in my hand

I've got a bottle of whiskey, it's calling my name

It whispers my secrets, it knows all my pain

The glass is half empty, the room's full of doubt

I drink down the silence and drown the world out

Oh, whiskey, my lover, my oldest friend

You pick me up when I'm near the end

Your amber fire burns through the night

In your embrace, I lose the fight

The clock keeps on ticking, but time's standing still

Each sip pulls me deeper, bends my will

The shadows are dancing on walls of regret

This bottle's my promise, I can't forget

Oh, whiskey, my lover, my oldest friend

You pick me up when I'm near the end

Your amber fire burns through the night

In your embrace, I lose the fight

Every pause a memory, every shot's a dream

You blur the edges, but rip at the seams

I chase the warmth, but it fades so fast

A liquid comfort that'll never last

Oh, whiskey, my lover, my oldest friend

You pick me up when I'm near the end

Your amber fire burns through the night

In your embrace, I lose the fight

The bottle's empty, my soul feels the weight

Left with the wreckage of choices I hate

The dawn is breaking, but I can't see clear

Whiskey's a ghost that lingers right here

Oh, whiskey, my lover, my oldest friend

You pick me up when I'm near the end

Your amber fire burns through the night

In your embrace, I lose the fight
